What Swinging Safari lacks in the story is made up in originality and a satisfying art direction.

In this 70s-set comedy, the kids of a seaside Australian town finds unexpected excitement when a 200-ton beached blue whale washes up. However, when a group of parents tries to find their own excitement by throwing a party where they swap spouses, the suburban town is thrown into chaos.

The Hollywood Reporter by Harry Windsor
Crass, colorful and hanging together by the barest of threads.
The Guardian by Luke Buckmaster
Is this outrageous comedy sexy or revolting? Elliott proves – though this feels like the least of his achievements – that a film can be both.
A cheerfully vulgar, consistently amusing and sometimes hilarious parody of life in a suburban Aussie cul-de-sac in the mid-1970s.
The great pleasure in the picture is the way Pearce, Minogue, McMahon and the other adults hurl themselves into the vulgarity of it all.
An energetic, irreverent, autobiographically inspired affair filled with key swapping, children running amok and a rotting 200-tonne whale, the film proves a mixed bag but, given the era on display, its messiness always feels appropriate.
